LightWeight
LightWeight always grabs an audience’s attention not least because of its size and intrinsic beauty. Hidden projections cause beautiful translucent imagery to appear. At the same time we capture the faces of the audience, embed them in live animations, and then watch them spin and flutter magically around the globe.
If that’s not enough, it can be customised to showcase a range of different content. So whether it’s movies, audio, graphic effects, pictures, text or even Tweets, LightWeight becomes the perfect canvas.

Lightweight
This piece offers audiences a shared experience with space for many household groups to maintain good social distancing.
We do offer direct interaction by taking images of participants faces, however there is no requirement for audiences to touch anything and the process can maintain adequate social distancing.
Depending on the nature of the event audience numbers may need to be controlled. However as the content has no start or ending it spreads out any audience surges.
